State your race when you reply. I’m trying to see something

I answer “white, not Hispanic/latino” when asked. Why are you obsessed with race?

I do tell them they will be wiser if they can have diverse viewpoints to draw from. Diversity obviously makes the world a better place. Could you imagine if we only had American food to choose from, or 1 type of music or art... come one. it's not complicated.

In any event, from her responses it’s clear she is really trying to help her child to avoid whites / the MAGAs in college.

To op, I think your best bet would be to avoid flyover country (ie the Midwest) and also avoid the trend to consider schools in the South (and especially Florida!).

Focus on New England or California schools exclusively.

Reading r/AsianParentStories on Reddit, it feels like a lot of second-gen Asian kids end up going NC with their immigrant parents. Not sure if that group is actually the root cause 🙂 Just wild guess.

In reality you would never be friends with the Korean who does your dry cleaning, the Honduran who does your yard work, or even the Ethiopian family who serves you food at your "favorite" Ethiopian restaurant that you go to so you can brag to your friends about how "worldly" you are. What you actually want are UMC people who live in the same size house as you, drive the same cars as you, and send their kids to the same private school as you. Do better!

It can mean all of that, plus ethnic, religious, racial and sexual orientation diversity.

Yes, it can and does mean inclusion of those groups.

but it does NOT include political diversity, in any way, shape, or form!

Does it mean academic and non-academic interests too?

If you have white male friends in college 50% are conservative.

Not at Berkeley.

Or U. of Wisconsin, Madison. Or U. of Oregon. Or Reed. Or Harvard/Yale/Princeton/Columbia. Or U. of GA, Athens. Or UCLA. Or . . .

My kids have very diverse friend groups and I'm trying to figure out which T50 schools will give them both a good education AND an inclusive environment.
